From: MERC::"uunet!CRVAX.SRI.COM!RELAY-INFO-VAX" 27-MAR-1993 22:53:03.35 To: uunet!"info-vax@crvax.sri.com" CC: Subj: Getting SLIP to work on VS3100 I was trying to get a PSInet connection to work (local SLIP dialing) using either Multinet or the CMU TCP/IP package and getting nowhere. It turned out that the trouble was I had the terminal line being used set /modem. Once I did a SET TERM/PERM/NOMODEM TTA3: to reset that, SLIP started working perfectly with either package. There was no indication what was wrong anywhere else; a kind note from ken Adelman at TGV suggested this. The behavior arises because the VS3100 does not fully support modem signals and the SLIP drivers, at least for these two packages, require that this support exist if the terminal is set as a modem terminal. I'm posting this in the belief that it might help others who are trying to use some of these vaxstation terminal lines for SLIP. Incidentally, the device init for the CMU package that worked (in internet.config) looked like this; the machine's "local address" which is the ethernet port (connected to nothing at all here) is 33.32.4.2. My end of the SLIP line is configured as 38.145.77.207 and the other end of the SLIP line is 38.145.77.127. Relevant parts of the internet.config file: Device_Init:XEDRV:ESA0:00-00-00-00-00-00:33.32.4.2:255.255.255.0 Device_Init:SLDRV:TTA3:arisia.gce.com:38.145.77.207:255.255.255.0 ; ...
